It appears that Steve is the first wrestler to win this award.

He's ONLY a 1x NCAA Champ...I am surprised he won!

You going to give it to their football team for the awesome performance they turned in this year?

Not relevant. It is NOT a lifetime achievement award, it is for the top athlete THIS year, which is the year he won his title. Considering how bad the football team was, this selection makes sense.

Didn't exactly have first-team AA's in football or basketball this year. Not sure if people in their Olympic sports performed well.

Given the context, Luke is certainly a legit candidate.

He's the first undefeated NCAA Champion since before he was born. Anything short of a Heisman Trophy winner on the gridiron and Luke is a legit choice.

Michigan had never selected a wrestler for this award until this year. It was long overdue. Don't forget, the school just invested millions in a new wrestling facility. UofM has backed their program and wants it to succeed.
